##### 24.4.4.3 Specifying a default element for unmapped character formats

To specify a default element to use for unmapped character formats:

    [DITAOptions]
    ; DefCharElem = element for char formats that are not
    ;  mapped in [DITACharTags], default is "ph"
    DefCharElem = ph

If your configuration file does not include a value for DefCharElem, DITA2Go uses one of the following as the element for an unmapped format: if UseFormatAsTag=Yes and the format name (adjusted as for CSS class names) matches the name of a valid element in the current content model, the format is mapped to that element; otherwise, the format is mapped to ph, the default value of DefCharElem. See §24.4.2 Treating format names as DITA element names.
